I'll call it a mid-month check-in since I've been so AWOL here. I am not tracking my protein the way I wanted to, but I am paying attention and making (mostly) better choices. If I don't make supper plans (for instance, when dh is going to be out) I often eat poorly. I am pretty consistently eating a protein breakfast. When I plan supper in for us, I eat well. I'm paying attention to the higher protein choices when we go out. (Chicken instead of eggplant, although the eggplant has a lot of cheese it comes loaded in fat too.)

I'm working on it, but actually tracking it is proving difficult for me.

I did hit walking target of 49K steps for the week, nearly getting to 52500 which is 7500 daily. I hope I'm back on track with better health for ddog and warmer weather for walking her. I was cutting walks short when she was reduced to trying to poop every couple of minutes, and letting her take the back yard. I think we have spring-like weather this week.

And I got in my two workouts. I'm consciously trying to not get so involved in what I'm doing on Monday and Thursday that I can't break away for workout.

If you want any one thing too badly, it’s likely to turn out to be a disappointment. The only healthy way to live life is to learn to like all the little everyday things –

This quote is copied from yesterday's PWYC. I thought it fit in our efforts to live a healthy life. There isn't just one thing that leads to health and fitness, but many little everyday things. Learning to like and do the small things consistently seems to be the hard part. I enjoy reading and learning from what other SHE's are doing.
